Jensen Weir Makes Pro Football Debut

Year 11 student, Jensen Weir, became Wigan Athletic’s youngest ever player as he made his professional football debut at the age of just 15.

Jensen, who has been doing a good job of balancing school commitments with the demands of the football academy system, came on in the 69th minute of Wigan’s Checkatrade Trophy match against Accrington Stanley in November. It’s an amazing achievement with very few players making their professional debut at such a young age.
